Agra, Taj Mahal and Agra Fort Tour Overview
A same-day trip to the Taj Mahal from Delhi offers a quick yet enriching experience, perfect for travelers short on time but eager to explore India’s rich Mughal heritage. The journey begins early in the morning from Delhi or the NCR region, taking you to Agra to visit major landmarks—primarily the Taj Mahal, often followed by Agra Fort and occasionally other nearby attractions. The tour concludes with a return to Delhi by evening.
The drive typically takes 2 to 3 hours each way via the Yamuna Expressway, depending on traffic. Starting early not only helps you avoid crowds and hot weather but also allows for better photography conditions, especially during sunrise tours.
